WBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Ron Boerger]

Hey Southwestern is doing live stats this year.  Giving DPU a game, Tigers lead 44-35 with 4:16 to play.

Go to http://southwesternpirates.cstv.com/ for links.  They have paid live video (which apparently is pay-by-season, $99).

SW closes to 45-41 with 3:01 to play, Lady Pirates' Natasha Asizi fouls out.

Oglethorpe wins 72-54...Katie Kulavic had a triple double, though that includes 10 turnovers.  She did come close to a legit triple double though, with 14 points, 10 boards, 8 assists...

Biz Richmann came off the bench to make 8-of-8 for a game-high 18 points.

Austin College went 0-12 from three in the second half, and 6-15 from the free throw line after halftime, pretty much dooming them and allowing Oglethorpe to break open a close game.

Southwestern goes cold for a couple of minutes and that's all DPU needed to secure the win, 55-45. 

Jenna Fernandez had 20 pts (9-15 shooting) and 8 rebounds in 34 minutes to lead DePauw, and Cassie Pruzin added 17 and 8.

You beat me to posting the score, Ron. That might have been as ugly a game as I can recall the Tigers playing in a long time, but they were able to put together a good defensive effort and edge a scrappy SU team. The trend of DPU seeing top-notch efforts from all their SCAC competition continues.

And how about the upset in Conway tonight? HC 86, BSC 80 - though it should be noted BSC was without Ross.

Southwestern Women lead Centre at the half 35-29. Game pits Southwestern inside play against Centre's 3-point shooters. Other than a small surge near the end of the half by the Pirates, the game has gone back and forth quite a bit with a number of lead changes.

[pbrooks3]

Southwestern up 57-45 with 8:09 to play.

[pbrooks3]

DPU wins 68-51. Southwestern leads 66-56 with 1:04 to go.

Final score from Georgetown: Southwestern 70 Centre 56. The game was actually closer than the final margin would indicate. Centre couldn't defend well enough in the post tonight; otherwise they might have had a chance to steal a road win. Good solid team effort for the Lady Colonels tonight.

Amber Stafford buries a three with 2.5 seconds left to give AC a 70-67 win over Sewanee here in Sherman...Katy Williams got another double double with 22 points and 10 boards...Courtney Childress had 14 and 12 boards for Sewanee...

Any word on Hendrix-Rhodes?

[jekelish]

as a matter of fact, i have both Hendrix/Rhodes scores...

Women: Rhodes 62, Hendrix 58

Men: Rhodes 83, Hendrix 73

Was shocked to see today's 85-80 OU loss to Colorado College. A look at the box score revealed a number that seemed to be quite a point of anger in OU's earlier loss in Greencastle this year, as the CC Tigers shot 19 more free throws than the Petrels.

But before the phrases 'refs' and 'back pocket' get thrown into the conversation in conjunction with each other, consider that the foul differential, which was OU +6, hardly suggests any evil doings at Reid Gymnasium this afternoon.

Seems like it was some game regardless, with Anna Findley shooting 2-for-21 from the field (including a John Starks-esque 1-for-14 from downtown... Mama always said there'd be days like that) and Melanie Auguste, perhaps the conference's most underrated player, throwing up 22, 9, and 10 in a winning effort.

Meanwhile... what DPU did in the second half against Trinity on the road last night deserved a bit more mention. DePauw went on a 27-4 run in the first 10 minutes of the half, and Cassie Pruzin scored all 27 of her points in the second 20 minutes of play. Truly an impressive 'statement' win for the Old Gold on the second half of the always-tough Texas roadie.

Also, I haven't seen it mentioned here, but word is that BSC's Reba Ross tore her ACL and is out for the year.

DPUlefty22, first of all, dont assume you know anything about a game that you did not see. you have no idea what the refs were like since like i said, you obviously were not there (and even if you were you're clearly biased against OU anyway) and although the refs were not good, i doubt any OU fan or player would point to the refs as  the reason they lost the game.

secondly, i find it interesting how you keep referring to depauw's wins as "impressive statements" etc. they are the reigning national champs, why is it so impressive and such a statement for them to handle decent teams? it may be unimpressive for them to lose, and a statment for another team to beat them, but as natl champs they are expected to have a significant winning margin.  whoop-de-doo

[DPU3619]

i doubt any OU fan or player would point to the refs as  the reason they lost the game.

They sure did after what happened in Greencastle.  Even though the foul differential was very similar.  All you gotta do is go back a couple of pages to see the allegations of home cookin'.
